VAC banned again for no reason, COD Advanced Warfare.

Boomstick777 · 20 Mar 2015 at 20:38

So I go to have a quick blast on Advanced Warfare today, low and behold it doesn't work. Checked my settings and it says I have been VAC banned for cheating infraction.

Never cheated on my Steam account.

Sent a message to Steam support, got an instant reply saying VAC bans are never lifted.. Thanks Steam

Ban for no reason and no way of finding out why or getting help.

Last game I buy on Steam. Let's hope Xbox on Windows 10 is good

Thank god Battlefield games aren't attached to crappy Steam DRM. Never had a problem with Origin or even Uplay for that matter.

Anybody else had this VAC ban crap when you haven't done anything???

I thought VAC bans were lifted if it was a false positive. Just keep hassling support I guess (good luck with getting prompt responses though!)

You aren't selling yourself in the best light when you say "again" and more "Never cheated on my steam account".

That kind of reads like you do frequently elsewhere.

What do you expect from a company rated F for customer service ?

Have you cheated on a different steam account?

Steam also bans linked accounts now as well.

"For no reason"

Yeah I had another account, and got banned for COD Ghosts, the only think I could think of at the time was a FOV changer. To be clear I never cheated on that account either.

With this account I've not used any third party stuff i.e afterburner etc while Steam is running, just in case it triggers a ban. This came out of nowhere lol.

If they don't put it right I'll just stick with Origin and Uplay. This sucks lol

Haha, I'm gutted it says VAC ban in my account. Literally have no idea why. So glad Battlefield etc don't use crappy Steam DRM, Steam has truly sucked for me. Second time this has happened. I created a new account after the last time. Bought another ton of games, and they did it again

Thank you Steam !

stop cheating

VAC bans quite often are blanket covered to games on the "same" engine so might be why - it could be an inherited ban from ghosts.

MeFox · 20 Mar 2015 at 22:09

if you tested cheats on private servers and have modified files in the gameclient ...

Keep hassling them, and ask for proof.

Thanks mate, will do.

Mynight · 20 Mar 2015 at 23:38

Vac were quite good. They responded to be quickly and lifted the ban in about 4 days. They wouldn't tell me what lead to the ban though

.

It's seems better to be vac banned than fairfight as hacker tony will attest

.

TonyTurbo78 · 20 Mar 2015 at 23:40

drop the hacker

but yeah, FF suck donkey balls.

Mynight · 20 Mar 2015 at 23:41

sorry. You're better than me so you must be hacking(along with 99% of the bf4 players)
